WATERVLIET '96 Emily May Ogden, 88, passed away peacefully on Sunday, March 11, 2018.
She was born in St. Johnsbury, Vermont on May 17, 1929, the daughter of the late Catherine and George Marcotte. May was the last surviving family member of 14 kids.

Some of her hobbies were sewing, stitchwork, knitting, gardening, baking, shopping and cooking-especially her Sunday family dinners. She was a perfectionist in her crafts.
